It's done the same way. Actually probably a little faster. This technique is pretty easy. I've actually had to load and unload heavy pre fitted water main lines. Just like this. Loaded with 3 lifts and unloaded with 1 Lift and 8 vertically standing pallets.
I learned this trick in 2006 back home in Akron, Ohio. The man who taught me operated a forklift for over 40 years. I learned from the best imo. The simple little tricks he showed me with a forklift are stuck with me for ever and I'll never forget.
Yes... It's the norm to load it with 2 forklifts which is easy. Now the problem is taking out the cargo where all the nightmares begins... Everything breaks!!!😂😂😂
@@La-familia-de-Fazio you say that but there is a lot of mental work that goes into it. Also speed, lots of speed and being hyper efficient. I love how floor workers think its easy, then I go train one and within the first day they are whining how hard it is. Especially doing high volume warehouse work where big brother is watching everything you do, expecting you to do it faster than the lift moves.. and the loads are screwed up in the system so you spend a ton of time fixing it before you even start.
Team work makes the dream work! These guys do this all day. You can tell by how precise their moves are with minimal adjustments. But I would like to see the poor fella that has to unload this trailer. Hopefully it comes out just as easy.
You pull them out like you put them in...only difference will be that you will attach the load to the forks on the one pulling it out, like straps...then other forklift will lift it off once its been pulled out.
I loaded 1000s of containers ...same way. Except we had a Cat 950 additionally to push the units forward with a 2o' paddle pusher. Hardwood loads. Solid pack. 16 loads per truck. Into 40 foot containers on Maxi Trailers, 101,000 lbs. Destined for China. I worked without breaks commonly. Made $ 22 an hour. Non union sawmill. Best day of my life was the day I retired and walked.
I once stuck in a job that felt like a trap and wanted to leave but couldn't. Took a chance six months before my 10yr anniversary and left for a casual job and jeez now I moved across the country years later and we have a whole new life. I'll never settle on one particular job for a long time any more I don't think. Anyway, hope your retirement is happy and well, I'll be on mine in 20 years or so hopefully, haha
I have 30 years of forklift experience. High speed high accuracy hustle experience. Hundreds of thousands of moves on sit down and stand up lift trucks. In my expert opinion, these 2 operators know what eff thier doing.
Best part is when some fat truck driver comes to teach forklift dude who you know is been working long time and is very good, but truck driver still thinks hes the smartass of the house :D :D
@@TheBanjoShowOfficial it was a union gig. Pension. Seniority based warehouse. $33 an hour. Easy money. However. Agreed! I have since left for city job at Seattle public utilities. More money, double time on OT with pension and benefits. Upward mobility in opportunity in several option, all making significantly more even still. I feel like I've been paroled out of prison.
I have been the operator unloading trucks like this on a construction site. While it's easy to shove stuff in a truck the pallets and skids these days do not hold up and can break up while trying to get the product out.
@@Draxindustries1 Must be a unicorn conex then. Don't see them with rolling floors ever. Especially from the video looks like a swap body. But still easy to load that freight none the less
I’ve been a forklift operator for over 20 plus years and you do learn how to maneuver freight on your own and with help. Would love to see the unload time and process though.
With all the respect for these good boys I was doing this with my colleague at age of 19 with huge wooden boxes full of expensive marble loading 40 ft. containers. Cheers from Italy.
Can't agree more except that it will probably be easier to unload Will take two operators as well, I believe with same two counter balance or a Reach and a counter balance Folk lift I hope I am right about that Good day bro
I work for a company that owns a decking/flooring company. Product is made in China and comes to us loaded on a shipping container. They load the product using metal framing so all we have to do is attach chains and pull it out in one shot. The bad part is the smell from being in the container for so long and you never know what kind of critters will be onboard. We’ve had lizards and a shit ton of spiders one time.
@@Draxindustries1 you can use a flatbed, I have many times with similar decking. In fact I'd prefer a flatbed or a side loader because as creative as their way of loading was, it's just easier loading AND unloading from the side in my opinion
As long as the place receiving it has more then one working forklift and atleast one old timer teaching the kids some tricks since tbh the hardware store aka Lowes has some of thee most under qualified/ un trained drivers. It's mostly the corporations wanting to pay less and having a huge turn over rate plainly due to disrepsect from management when their short staffed or even just that manager and oh cant forgot the whole employee disappearing act for allmost half of their shift if the reason why you never find anyone in these hardware stores. Some actually do their job and try but they have to over achieve to just keep their dept. in order. But it is funny when you get told to leave 5k worth of un secured tools and other high ticket items on the floor to do back stock and refilling since that's more important but I'm responsible somewhat when tools get takin out by the garbage pale load when they would be up in the shelves in the next 30 mins if I had continued my daily duties..oh and there was also another employee in my dept....somewhere...🙃.
Hmmm, I was doing that by week 2 at the lumber yard I worked at in the late 90's. It is by no means simple, but any person confident enough with a generalized understanding of CoG can get this done after a few days of practice.
That's what I was thinking, just looks like forklift drivers that can actually do the job properly and efficiently! Nothing special here, now what is impressive is the lorry loading warehouses with hundreds of forklifts whizzing around amongst each other and aisles and not colliding while perfectly loading trucks!
Confidence & trust are 60% of this work. Most of the guys I work with are too preoccupied with their phones, hiding from the boss or planning lunch to get work done like this.
Ya que no hay comentarios en español voy a plasmarlo. Es increíble la práctica que tienen los clarkistas para realizar este tipo de tareas, realmente impresionante!!!
Nothing unusual or difficult or fast about this loading. In fact for enclosed containers, it's standard. What, you think they break down the packs, hand load them then rebind them when finished? We were loading like that 35 years ago.
@@terekfarley2360 it has nothing to do with the actual video ....it's an astounding observation of what people find amazing and shows the true elementary mindset and infantile pleasure response that the majority of adults possess
I use to have to unload very long bundles of aluminum extrusion at Gem Top, cutting out all window/door parts. They loved me, I was crazy enough on dork lift to break shop production records! (16030 was a lower wide door part number)
I see quite a few comments about it not being that difficult or now let's see the unloading... I just think kudos to them, I certainly wouldn't be able to do that myself! I was impressed!
If the customer cannot unload the product on the receiving end, then it's a waste. I would send the container back, there's no where to pull from. I've done my fare share through the years
Nope... I've had my big rig loaded faster (I was hauling empty plastic bottles that had just been made) load as only 7k pounds, but filled a 53' dry van... Why it was quick, they lined up 26 pallets in two rows, then used a forklift and pushed all 26 pallets in at once... I really enjoyed those loads when I came across them, saved me so much time 😁
@@polishpat95 Doesn't work that way, you get a flat rate for the load... Great load cuz it paid the same, but it was light asf... Work smarter, not harder
we used to push entire rows of 3 tall stacked pallets (15-20 pallets long) down our warehouse, doing some tight turns and maneuvers as we went. I worked as a foreman, and I was the only one with spare time to stack the finished goods right before shift change, and doing it this way saved me a boat load of stacking time...
@@hugoaguilar3073 Same. Lumber building materials, D21/22. Used to put whole bunks of 2x4's in the back of a customer's van this way. Perfect fit. Didn't have the 2nd driver though. Would get one end into van, then get off & put a lumber cart under the other end. Then lower, reposition at the end and lift up, get off and move cart out of the way, then slowly slide it in.
I always wondered why the corners and ends of all these different materials are crushed and mangled when you go to get materials at big box stores. Nobody would find the damage until it's gone through 2 or 3 of these forklift processes so how would you know its these guys ? NICE!
These videos crack me up they always have the perfect conditions. If I put a video up of me driving a forklift at my job you would probably die from shock if you think this is amazing
These guys are good. Takes me back, when I was about 20 I was a yard hand for a big plumbing outfit. I could, using a forklift, get bundles of 20 ft pipe through a 10 ft door much the same way these guys are getting the trailer loaded. Kinda fun.
I drive a forklift at a lumber Mill and have to take bundles of lumber some 16 to 21 feet through 12 and 14 foot doors several times a day on the daily. It's just like anything else if you do it enough you start to get pretty damn good at it.
They hardly ever look to the rear when reversing..i unload containers and in my experience most loads are rammed in..and the skill is getting them out in one piece
Containers have a very hard time being battered around in heavy seas and being driven around on rough roads in some countries. Its important to have a container loaded well from side to side and end to end to prevent the load from moving around getting damaged. The ones we use also have roof airbags which inflate holding the load down to prevent damage..
@@terrymanning4690 I don't know how was your training , but if my training instructor would seen me driving like this , he would pulled me aside for not looking where I am going!
@@thesaiyan4158 yes geometry and who is the geometer? With that said no good without the skills of the operator’s, and impressive too watch them pull it off.
@@edwinmorales2329 ......set the load down on an empty pallet placed vertically at end of load....move lift to end and pick up end and shuttle it right into the container
Good job. Couldn't have done a better job. The biggest thing I had on the fork was 4 long crates stacked on top of each other: 3 metres long, 1 metre high, 75 centimetres deep.
Lol get a clue. The kids they hire at Home Depot and Lowe's are the ones damaging your product. If you don't want damaged products then manufacturer decking for yourself
A ran a shipping dept from the back of a lift, sending freight worldwide... this is a team respecting each others abilities and skill. They could drive for me any day. Seeing alot of forklift advise here from people that obviously have no idea how to drive a lift!😆
We used to do this eith one forklift. Get it in the truck, like the first lift did, then put a pallet on end to hold it in the air, and move the forklift to the end to push in.
“Amazing forklift skills!” Forklift 2: *slams into bumper of trailer, then flies backwards doing 80mph without looking behind him* Forklift 1: *Proceeds to nearly topple second load, and smack supervisor with 3rd load due to rushing and not paying attention to surroundings*
I’ve drove forklifts for 18 years. I’ve done more impressive things than this. These guys are good but what they did is easy to me. This is easy with a sit down forklift, you can control them like you have a 3rd hand.
Super amazing with those wobbly stacks swinging around and banging the shit out of the mast each time...this isn't skill, they just figured out how to put a square object in a square hole
You would think that companies who have employees like this would like to keep them but what I have learned through the years is that we are nothing but a number. I am willing to bet they get treated as if they can be replaced tomorrow.
@@noahr1825 Yes! Very typical. Only when they find themselves behind in orders and trying to catch up but only to stay behind THAT'S when they usually say...Damn! We should have kept Johnny. The place I used to work for closed down because of bad management. So trust me I know! Lol.
This is not “amazing skill”, this is basic, and he still managed to fuck it up at the end. Guaranteed all three are damaged at both ends with the force he used to ram them in, and then misjudging the space for the middle row. This is why most places ship these using curtain trailers or flatbeds
His Mast never touched the end so how did he screw them up I don't think you can drive at all. And you don't always get the ideal trailer. It would be nice but it doesn't happen.
Viper is right, although I can't see any damage or where he went wrong but this is basic loading for long loads and pretty easy for a trained operator....
I guess it might depend on what Asian country container originated from, and what is being shipped. I recently retired from the Moving industry after 28 years and the shipments from Asia were packed very well. We in the US, as well as foreign countries have to build bulkheads if the container is not completely full to prevent items moving around or falling down. The European shipments were top notch of any foreign country. They just wrapped and packed items much better, their materials were more durable than others as well, even American.
Tjays old news when I did shipping and recieving 45 years ago we had no dock I loaded every thing like that. Try 300 lb bar of steel. 14 ft long. 5 of them out of a 53'. I was the man.
Partially pull Pallets out with Strops supported by first Counter balance, support end with other Counter balance, and reverse manoeuvre with first Counter balance.
